Los Angeles Dodgers :{

Starting Rotation
1 - Jeff Samardjiza (R)
2 - James Paxton (L)
3 - Jarrod Parker (R)
4 - Jesse Hahn (R)
5 - Josh Johnson (R)

Bullpen
CL - Greg Holland (R)
RP - Mark Melancon (R)
RP - Darren O'Day (R)
RP - Josh Edgin (L)
RP - Hunter Strickland (R)
RP - Matt Harrison (L)
RP - Bobby Parnell (R)

I don't feel like my rotation is as strong as I would like, but I like my pen anchored by Greg Holland. Having Melancon (someone who has the ability to close if needed) is accustomed to pitching in the set up role. Melancon gets righties out and lefties hit even lower against him -- .202 OBPA. I just got to avoid having Hunter Strickland face Bryce Harper and my bullpen will be fine.

Lineup vs LHP
LF - Josh Harrison (R)
2B - Joe Panik (L)
CF - Adam Jones (R)
3B - Edwin Encarnacion (R)
1B - Lucas Duda (L)
RF - George Springer (R)
DH - Kennys Vargas (S)
SS - Jose Iglesias (R)
C - Martin Maldonado (R)

Lineup vs RHP
LF - Josh Harrison (R)
SS - Everth Cabrera (S)
CF - Adam Jones (R)
3B - Edwin Encarnacion (R)
1B - Lucas Duda (L)
RF - George Springer (R)
DH - Kennys Vargas (S)
2B - Joe Panik (L)
C - Jose Lobaton (S)

Bench
Jose Iglesias - 2B/3B/SS
Gerardo Parra - LF/CF/RF
Kelly Johnson - 1B/2B/3B/LF/RF
Jose Lobaton - C

My thinking in the redraft was similar to @JohnnyRedStorm and drafted power with Jones, Encarnacion, Duda, Springer, and Vargas. Other than my 3-4 hitters being right handed back to back, I like it. With Josh Harrison, I feel that his versatility helped me in the draft. I able to draft with more flexibility because he was able to play all over. I drafted Harrison thinking he was going to be my 2B, but then moved him to LF when I picked up Panik, who against LHP, he has a .839 OPS. I wanted versatility, I wanted guys that were able to play a lot of positions. I want to give different guys days off throughout the season so they'll be fresh come September.

My main defensive substitutions are Jose Iglesias for the infield and Gerardo Parra for the outfield. If my team has the lead in the later innings, I'm relying on my pen and subbing in Jose Iglesias and Gerardo Parra for defense.

ooiron manoo ooiron manoo :
I was hoping Greinke or Sonny Gray would fall to me in R2, both slightly preferred before Cole and Wacha. 32 wins for Zack Greinke the past two years. Uncertain if he's completely combated the anxiety issues, wondering if he could handle pitching in a high-pressure city like Chicago, my redraft simulation team. Skaggs is young, 23, with only 31 starts under his belt. Fingers crossed he bounces back from TJ surgery.

Ramos leading into Chapman is a proper, effective 8th to 9th inning bridge. I mean, 35+ saves three years consecutively speaks for itself. His velocity is just plain scary.

Similar to Prince Fielder, Votto has value in R3. His stock fell in this redraft purely because of one poor season in 2014. Some questions over Guerrero's defense translating to 2B, but I'm pretty sure he'll pan out. Same with Cabrera at short defensively, probably Washington's weak link in real-life, but Donaldson at the hot corner is a great hitter. He seemed to slow offensively second-half, much like the rest of Oakland's hitting post-Cespedes.

Marte finished the season very strong, helping Pirates get into the NL play-in game with the Giants. Dom Brown's power numbers are deceiving, but he's 27 and capable of 20+ HR a season depending on the park.
 
We're not doing any trades but you can add/drop.

I'm still missing seven guys, so (if it's okay with you guys) I'm going to give them until Sunday night. Put their teams together and try to get this thing started on Tuesday.
 
Pro not sure if you answered this already, but once you start, are you going to sim the entire season at once? or will be over a couple of weeks?
 
I believe I did but I'm going to probably do a month at a time. Post up standings, stats, leaders for awards and **** like that. I'll probably space it out over a day or two. So I'll run April on Tuesday and then run may on Thursday or Friday. Something like that.

Reached out to @dland24 with a friendly reminder. I'm cool with the new Sunday deadline.

Were the created players a pain?
 
I'm tackling those tonight. Shouldn't really have a problem, I have a slight plan of how I am going to do it. Divulge that after I finish up though :lol

I'm hoping we can go beyond one year, if it's possible for you and everyone remains interested.

All created players get a 50 rating across the board in every category, right?

Only if Lee and "Kuma" retire after one season.
 
The Cubans, overall, have a track record of coming over here and being good players.

The Japanese players on the other hand, oh boy.
